Abstract
The arrival of a chemical signal at the surface of a cell initiates a profound change in cellular activity providing it can gain access to one of the intracellular signal pathways. These signal pathways begin at the cell surface with a specific receptor, which detects the external signal and relays the information to a limited number of transducing mechanisms, which encode the message into various second messengers. A classic example of an intracellular second messenger is cAMP. Recently there has been rapid progress in the identification of two new second messengers, inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol, which are related to each other in that they are both derived from a common precursor, which is a unique inositol lipid located within the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (Berridge, 1984; Berridge and Irvine, 1984; Nishizuka, 1984a,b).
